Per-spell breakdown across the fight. Low Eviscerate and Shadowstrike contribution means you're entering Dance without Symbols of Death active or dropping GCDs inside the window.
9.5M downloads
Cast bars and debuff icons on enemy nameplates. The key use is seeing Find Weakness active on your target — the stealth attack armor debuff that amplifies all damage — and identifying which mob is casting the ability your Kick should land on.
33.4M downloads
Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — cover interrupt gaps with Kick rather than overlapping, and track Tricks of the Trade so you know which tank needs your threat redirect. Also shows healer externals so you know when a save is available.
938.2K downloads
Configurable timers for your major cooldowns. Tracks Symbols of Death (28s) and Shadow Dance charges so you enter Dance with SoD active — spending Dance without it wastes the amplification window.
351.8K downloads
Larger, repositionable combo point display with configurable colour and font. Shadow Dance lasts 2-3 seconds — having your spend threshold immediately visible without looking away from Symbols of Death state removes hesitation from the window.
5.8M downloads
Highlights the next optimal ability based on dance state, combo points, and cooldown availability. Useful when learning the in-dance versus out-of-dance priority, or after a patch changes the finisher spend threshold.

BetterBlizzFrames keeps the default UI intact while adding the things it lacks: castbars on your target and focus frames, class color health bars, and absorb tracking. For Subtlety Rogue, a target castbar tells you exactly when to pop Cloak of Shadows or Kick, which matters when you're already juggling Shadow Dance charge timing. A one-addon upgrade with no layout overhead.

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Subtlety Rogue, a dedicated utility bar keeps Vanish, Shadow Dance, Cloak of Shadows, Evasion, Sprint, and Kick at consistent visible positions so your main bar stays focused on combo point generation and Eviscerate.
Tukui.org addon
Most of what ElvUI covers for Subtlety Rogue is better handled by BetterBlizzFrames (frames), Dominos (action bars), and Platynator (nameplates). Only install if you want a fully unified UI aesthetic and are prepared for the configuration overhead.

Floating button showing both weapon poisons with timers, one-click swap, and auto-restock from vendors. The expiry warning fires before the poison drops so you're never caught in a pull with uncoated weapons — you can't restock in Stealth, so catching the timer before entering a Shadow Dance window matters.

Leatrix Plus is a collection of small QoL improvements: auto-repair at vendors, auto-sell grey items, remove NPC dialogue delays, block duel requests. Install once, configure in 5 minutes, and stop thinking about it.
